Remote Monitoring and Control Market Trends and Dynamics
Driver: Surging adoption of Industry 4.0 across process and manufacturing industries
Industry 4.0 is an integration of cyber-physical systems, IoT, and cloud computing. It consists of automation infrastructure, such as SCADA or IoT, which enables an operator to carry out manufacturing processes remotely, and real-time information is collected resourcefully to ensure optimum operations. SCADA systems allow reports to be run in real time to obtain current and historical data and predict futuristic events. Therefore, using a SCADA system in smart factories enables operators to predict the maintenance needs of machines, plan production accordingly, and avoid emergencies and machine failure while manufacturing valuable products. The use of HMI in a SCADA system enables an operator to visually monitor the process daily and alerts the operator in case of any emergency in any section of a plant. SCADA, being a rugged system, is fit for handling the complex environment of processing plants, mostly located offshore. Thus, the increased adoption of Industry 4.0 in the process and manufacturing industries drives the demand for remote monitoring and control systems.
Restraint: High costs associated with installation and maintenance of SCADA systems
A SCADA system is an integration of hardware and software consisting of sensors, RTUs, PLCs, and HMIs. Systems in a plant are controlled and maintained from remote locations with the help of the data gathered in real time and process control applications provided by a SCADA system. Gathering data is one of the principal tasks in process industries to achieve optimum resource utilization and high quality of the end product. However, the initial capital and maintenance costs associated with SCADA systems are high. Components included in SCADA systems, such as centralized computer equipment and software, are highly expensive. If more concurrent users such as consulting engineers, system integrators, service providers, facility managers, and owners are there in the industrial facility, the SCADA system will be more expensive since a few SCADA systems charge per concurrent user and a few provide unlimited licenses. Hence, it is necessary to state the exact number of simultaneous stakeholders at the beginning of the project, so that system integrators generally recommend SCADA software that minimizes the cost of concurrent users. Thus, in a SCADA system, a greater number of users may lead to additional hardware costs.
Opportunity: Large requirement for integration of field instruments with remote monitoring systems
Field measurement of various parameters such as temperature, pressure, humidity, level, and flow is crucial in many industrial applications, and many processes require a monitored or controlled environment. These field instruments are widely used in power, oil & gas, food & beverages, pulp & paper, pharmaceutical, metal & mining, and other industries. Field instruments produce digital and analog signals that are monitored by remote stations. These instruments are connected to the controlled or monitored equipment connected to the remote station to enable for manipulation of processes in remote locations. It is also used to collect data from equipment and transfer it to the central SCADA system. The benefit of the integration of field instruments is that it gives a consolidated view of the field instruments' data, which helps monitor and control the industrial process. This data can be further monetized to generate insights to improve and achieve process excellence. The integration with the SCADA system helps increase process efficiency and raises the industrial process view over a single HMI display, which can help enhance industrial safety.
Challenge: Vulnerability of SCADA systems to cyberattacks
Cyber threats are prominent while developing any network based on sensors to monitor and control critical infrastructures. As SCADA is a network of sensors, computers, communication systems, and storage systems, it is vulnerable to cyberattacks. The SCADA system manages the operational aspects of critical infrastructure by using logical processes and physical operations. The failure of this system can affect an organization, a community, and an economy. Disasters such as oil or sewage pipelines releasing their contents in inappropriate locations and electricity grid failure can have a long-term effect and may also lead to collateral damage.
Remote Monitoring and Control Market Segmentation
Within field instruments, intelligent flow meters to grow at highest CAGR during forecast period
Intelligent flow meters are low-cost, easy to deploy, have increased flexibility, and have embedded intelligence for delivering value-added services. They are used in various applications such as oil & gas, water & wastewater treatment, pharmaceutical, and chemical with different engineering requirements. The intelligent flowmeter is used to precisely measure the flow of impure liquids and slurries. They are used in many gas applications replacing differential pressure and turbine flowmeters.
Chemical industry is anticipated to contribute significant share of market during forecast period.
The chemical industry is one of the potential end users of remote monitoring and control solutions, owing to its volatile nature, where unexpected circumstances can occur during manual operations, resulting in considerable losses in terms of human lives. These solutions link field devices, processes, and manpower in the chemical industry to create a system that can quickly avert disasters, and in case of any untoward incident, identify survivors and potential dangers in the aftermath of the disaster. A combination of advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) and remote monitoring solutions, such SCADA, enables production optimization through better quality, enhanced safety, and improved throughput.
